My glib is at 2.4.1_1 and the current version is 2.4.2. The upgrade process for glib seems to think that perl isn't installed: ===> glib-2.4.2 depends on file: /usr/local/bin/perl5.8.2 - not found But it is: su-2.05b# pkg_info | grep perl perl-5.8.4 Practical Extraction and Report Language su-2.05b# perl -v This is perl, v5.8.4 built for i386-freebsd-64int It seems it's hard-coded to look for 5.8.2 and can't handle that I have 5.8.4. Anyways, as a result, if I let the portupgrade process continue it ultimately fails because upon attempting to install the new version of perl it realizes that perl IS actually installed, so it aborts. Then this leaves my perl install hosed and I need to make deinstall/reinstall on just perl to fix it. This is on a FreeBSD 5.2.1-RELEASE system. ===== Scott I.
